              IA is an exercise that explores the format of the interview – as testimony or as a document – and the values associated with it: transparency/manipulation, neutrality/ideology and subjectivity/objectivity. When the procedure is laid bare, the substance is transformed. It could also be described as a series of visions from a city undergoing a reverse metamorphosis, an encapsulation, we could say: Barcelona 1992. A series of interviews edited with the camera in 1992 and 1994, and subsequently compiled onto two DVDs. Through the manipulation of the ritual, the interview becomes a space in which processes of the construction of meaning are challenged. Meta-interviews, self-interviews, interviews with the medium, views.
              Le Cercle des Noyés: Excerpt - Interview
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S012-SS007-0049 · Item · 2007

              “Le cercle des noyés” (The circle of the drowned men) is the name given to a group of black political prisoners in Mauritania who were arrested in 1986 and incarcerated in the city of Oulata's former Colonial Fort. The documentary follows the subtle mental process of one of the ex-prisoners as he remembers his own story and that of his fellow prisoners. Like an echo, we see a series of images of the sites of their confinement – bare, stripped of all traces of this past.

              Beginning in the mid-1950s , Tangier emerged as a vibrant nexus for artists, poets, and intellectuals. Heavily influenced by the presence of Paul Bowles , members of the Beat Generation were drawn to this northern Moroccan city, seeking not only inspiration and completion of their creative works but also an escape into the mystique of the Moroccan dream. While some engaged meaningfully with the local culture, most were in pursuit of experiences that transcended the conventional confines of their realities.

              During the era known as “INTERZONE ,” Tangier became a site where the East and West intersected in a chaotic interplay of misapprehensions, with each side anticipating revelations or secrets from the other. Yet, this encounter was often marked by mutual disillusionment; neither side fulfilled the other’s expectations, highlighting a deeper impasse in cross-cultural understanding. For some, Tangier represented a fertile ground for intercultural exchange; for many, however, it underscored the inadequacies inherent in reductive “culturalist” interpretations of reality.

              In the anarchic vision of William S. Burroughs , cultural identities are seen as constructs shaped and manipulated by bureaucratic forces for strategic ends. His critique of the failed East-West encounter resonates with Edward Said ’s analysis of the flawed mutual perceptions each culture holds of the other. Said’s theory of Orientalism encapsulates the West’s constructed narrative of the Orient, a narrative subsequently appropriated and recontextualized by Eastern institutions. Tangier thus stands as a liminal space, a crossroads of these cultural “pharmacies.”

              The film program, “TANGIER INTERZONE ” , endeavors to probe the porous boundary between reality and fiction, delving into the imaginative dimensions that shape our understanding of this “reality.”
